Steve Nash remains confident that he'll sign a contract extension with the Suns at some point this summer.

However, Nash added that he'd love to play for the Knicks if an agreement isn't reached with the Suns.

"I would preface it by saying that I love Phoenix and that's what I'm focusing on right now," Nash told the Globe and Mail. "But I live in New York City, and I love it there, and [Knicks head coach] Mike D'Antoni was one of my favorite coaches. If it didn't work out in Phoenix, obviously that would be a place I'd consider."

The Knicks have been linked to Jason Kidd on the free agent market, and are known to be looking for an experienced point guard.
